This week, DataCite and ARDC announced a strategic partnership to deliver RAiD, a service and system to identify and track research projects and activities.
The partnership between RAiD and DataCite offers several benefits, including standardized landing pages in line with RAiD’s existing setup, support for unique identifier structures using “10.XXXXX” prefixes, and the option for RAiD to participate in DOI-related policies via ARDC as a DOI Foundation General Member. Additionally, DataCite’s infrastructure ensures scalability, cost-efficiency for individual RAiD Registration Agencies, alignment with RAiD’s aspirations, simplified integration into the PID ecosystem, and a straightforward transition for existing projects with DataCite DOIs to become RAiDs.
